Changes in impacts of climate extremes: Human systems and ecosystems [PDF]

, 2012
In this chapter, two different types of impacts on human and ecological systems are examined: (i) impacts of extreme weather and climate events; and (ii) extreme impacts triggered by less-than-extreme weather or climate events (in combination with non ...

Extreme Weather Events and Scientific Research

Science Letters, 2023
The catastrophic flood by which a huge area of Emilia-Romagna region (northern Italy) was affected last May is the most recent out of a long queue of extreme weather events involving the Italian territory throughout the last 13 years. When dealing with extreme weather phenomena, representing nowadays a "minimum common denominator" worldwide, global ...
